    She gave up a shot in the Olympics for that? So as an Olympic boxer she’s more dedicated to transphobia than boxing? And if she was that transphobic wouldn’t she just refuse outnof protest in the first place? This all seems a bit hard to buy

      she thought she could win and is dedicated to boxing more than transphobia, but after the big hit she lost all confidence and then went with plan B

      the international footage of her getting hit and crying is having far more impact and reach than simply protesting/refusing to fight

          jesse-wtf
          nothing is about body language, this is from her actual interview responses and following the coverage

          it’s a deduction, and you can disagree, but the dismissive “so you’re a mind-reader nowsmuglord” isn’t needed here

              there are chunks transcripted here
              https://www.fanpage.it/sport/altri-sport/angela-carini-dice-cosa-e-successo-con-imane-khelif-troppo-dolore-ma-non-sono-nessuno-per-giudicare/
              can’t seem to find video of an uncut video interview with her among all the reaction videos but did find one with her coach/corner guy
              https://farside.link/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgZcAGXDIeY

              Carini says that she does fight men in the ring but she’s never been hit so hard before. Her coach (who actually sounds non-bigoted and that it’s a tough matchup, they were hoping for an easier fight at this stage but had bad luck, and was surprised at the concession) says these two have trained together previously and notes that carini particularly dislikes Khelif.

              Unlike her coach, who acknowledges the victory and overall gives respect, that Khelif deserves to be here, Carini is asked if she thinks the fight was fair and responds ‘that’s for the IOC to decide’. Big red flag and combined with saying Khelif hits harder than cis men, she seems like despite using the right pronouns and not outwardly dragging Khelif, that she’s trying to make a case for excluding at least intersex women. When asked about what people are saying online about Khelif, she just says she doesn’t want to get involved.

              She never once acknowledges that Khelif won fairly, or denounces the mask off bigots calling Khelif a man. At best she’s a spineless sore loser willing to be used as a tool for the worst people imaginable to beat trans and intersex people with.

              is the lack of quotes of my earlier comment intentional? none of that has anything to do with body language. people are posting the images and videos of her bawling to garner sympathy while saying she was beat up by a man.

              are you saying it takes a body language expert to know that a crying woman evokes a stronger sympathy response that a neutral face? or did you not quote it because now you want to echo that you agree? explain yourself explicitly instead of smuglord gotcha posting

                Posting videos and images of someone doing something and then deciding what emotions to apply to it is literally what body language experts do. You also waited until all of this discussion to tell shd straight up said she was beaten by a man. All I wanted was a bit if non speculative evidence and it was pulling teeth to get it, so don’t act like this is some own. I don’t watch the Olympics
